The Stone Castle on The Hill (Technoblade x reader)

Chapter 3 - Trying to avoid sadness is trying to avoid life

There's a picture of the Cyclamens behind the song :)

The three walked the bustling streets of L'Manburg. Eventually, Wilbur stopped in front of what looked to be a large library. He turned to Technoblade and Y/n.

"I'm going to go ask my friend, Karl, where something is. I'll be back in a few minutes. You two can go look at some shops if you want?" Wilbur smiled.

Y/n responded with a simple, "okay", and Technoblade nodded. Y/n watched as her brother opened the door and disappeared behind it. After he was gone, out of sight, she let out a very quiet sigh. 

In this moment, Technoblade realized how small the girl really was. Wilbur had told him Y/n was 5 years younger than he was, so she had to be about 12 years old. So, she was only 3 years younger than him. She looked so much younger though. Y/n was quite small and fragile. Or maybe it was him. 

By the time Technoblade was 12, he had already been six feet tall. Y/n looked like she was no more than 5 feet tall. He noticed how Y/n waited for her older brother, like a helpless doe waiting for its mother.

Technoblade turned slightly, "come on princess. You wanna go to some shops?"  Technoblade asked the girl nonchalantly.

Y/n turned around to stare at him before nodding. The two walked down the road, looking and eyeing various shops. Every now and then the pink haired boy would have to stop as Y/n would give a flower to someone.

As the two were walking, Y/n thought of a good question for her new friend.

"Technoblade?"

"Yes?"

"Are you royalty?" The girl asked, looking specifically at the small crown on the boy's head and his silk and fur cape. 

The boy thought for a second, "Probably." He answered.

"That's not a very good answer..." Y/n admitted, making Technoblade chuckle.

Eventually the duo made their way to a more crowded part of the town. There was more shops that lined the roads here. That meant a lot more people were here too. Y/n had been locked away in her castle for so long, she didn't know how to interact with so many different people.

Technoblade eventually caught onto this as Y/n would stumble or quickly get out of someone's way. So, Technoblade grabbed her smaller hand and held it so she wouldn't get lost. Together, the two found themselves at a small bakery. 

A woman stood at the counter, finishing up putting some loafs of bread in little baskets with ribbons. She turned to see who had entered her store, and she immediately recognized Y/n. The fluffy haired woman stepped out from behind the counter.

"Y/n?" She said, making the girl turn around.

"Puffy?" Y/n confirmed.

Puffy and Y/n hugged before she gave Technoblade and Y/n each a small loaf of sweet bread. The two ate their gift once they found a less crowded area to stand by the sides of the road.

After a bit while they were still snacking on their still warm and fresh bread, Wilbur found them.

"I'm back- ooo~ what do you two get?" He asked.

Y/n broke half of her bread off and handed it to her older brother, "Puffy gave us sweet bread."

Wilbur took a bite and looked like he was in heaven.

"Puffy always makes the best pastries." He admitted as he held Y/n's hand and lead the two of them to a larger house away from the town, but still in the walls of L'Manburg.

As soon as Y/n had seen the stone, wood, and quartz house, she immediately let go of her brother's hand and starting sprinting towards it, making Technoblade and Wilbur jog to keep up. Y/n didn't even stop to knock on the door as she quickly opened it, knowing it was unlocked. She ran into the house and Wilbur closed the door behind Technoblade and him. 

Y/n set down the basket of flowers on the ground and practically jumped into the arms of a red haired woman.

"Sally!" Y/n cried.

"Woah!- hello N/n." Sally laughed.

Wilbur and Technoblade followed the sound of laughter into the kitchen of the house. On the way in, Technoblade picked up Y/n's flower basket so it wouldn't be stepped on. Once Y/n let go of the beautiful woman, the pink haired boy handed the girl back the basket. 

"Here." He said quietly, handing Y/n the basket.

"Thank you, Techno!" She smiled at him. It was a smile he felt once before, but couldn't remember where...

The red-haired woman turned to Wilbur, grabbing a book off the counter and handing it to him.

"Oh, yes, this is for you, love." She said as she handed it to him.

"Thank you." He smiled gently.

"...'love'?" Technoblade repeated.

"Oh, right!" Wilbur said, "Technoblade, this is my fiancé, Sally. Sally, this is my old friend Technoblade, who you've heard of many times in stories from me and father."

"It's finally nice to meet you, Techno." Sally smiled, then noticed some blood on his face.

"Would you like you get yourself cleaned up, dear? Are you hurt?" Concern laced Sally's voice and face as she looked at the younger, but taller male.

"Oh, sure..." 

"Okay, the bathroom in down the hall, second to last on the left. I'll have Wilbur bring you a new shirt."

"Okay, thank you."

With that, Technoblade disappeared down the hall. Wilbur quickly ran up the stairs to the second floor to grab one of his spare dress shirts for his friend before coming back down. He walked down the hall, knocked on the door, and the shirt disappeared from his hand with the door closing again.

Y/n turned back to Sally. She looked through her basket of flowers before pulling out a mixture of Cyclamens, Snowdrops, Glory of the snows, and violas. 

"Oh my goodness, these are beautiful!" Sally marveled at the flowers, "would you mind fetching me a vase, dear?" 

"Of course." Y/n said before going to a cabinet in the corner of the kitchen and pulling out a round vase. 

Sally put some water in the vase, and then added the flowers. After she perfected them, she put them on the kitchen island. She turned to the girl that gifted them to her.

"I think their lovely. A perfect addition. Thank you, Y/n." she said.

"Of course!" Y/n smiled widely at the woman.
